Airlines

Briefcase

December 28, 1991

AMERICAN AIRLINES Inc. said Friday it will eliminate 1,250 ground-staff jobs at airports across the country, effective in February. Citing falling revenues and the likelihood of another poor year-end report, a spokesman for the airline, which has 97,000 employees and is based in Fort Worth, Texas, said the cuts were designed to bring job levels down to ''the minimum number to manage on.''
